The document is a press release from TerraChoice Environmental Marketing, announcing the release of their 2009 EcoMarkets green purchasing report. The report suggests that despite the economic downturn, green purchasing budgets are continuing to rise and the current political administration in the United States is positively impacting green spending. The report found that over half of all purchasers have increased their green purchasing in the last 12 months, and the majority predict more green purchasing in the next two years. Even purchasers who believe the North American economy is in a recession or depression still predict increases in green spending. The Obama Administration is seen as having a positive impact on greener purchasing in North America. The top three most recognized eco-labels in the United States are Energy Star, Green Seal, and EcoLogo, while in Canada they are Energy Star, EnerGuide, and EcoLogo. The EcoMarkets report was completed by over 580 professional purchasers in the United States and Canada and is designed to inform about the attitudes and practices of North American buyers towards environmentally preferable purchasing. TerraChoice Environmental Marketing is a premier environmental marketing firm that helps sustainable companies grow.
